Are ton (metric) [t] and megagram [Mg] different units?

No, both represent the same mass quantity, where 1 metric ton equals 1 megagram.

Why should I convert ton (metric) to megagram?

Converting to megagram aligns with SI units preferred for scientific, industrial, and reporting purposes.

Can this conversion be used for other types of tons?

No, this conversion applies strictly to the metric ton and megagram; other tons like short or long ton have different values.
